The dashboard's charts turn rows of data into visible patterns. Picking the right date range and chart settings makes the difference between "there's a lot going on" and "here's the specific trend I need to act on".
Date ranges
Most dashboard views and charts let you pick a date range:
-
Today — just today.
-
Yesterday — just yesterday.
-
This Week — Monday to today (or Sunday-to-Saturday depending on your region).
-
This Month — first to today.
-
Last 7 Days — rolling 7-day window.
-
Last 30 Days — rolling 30-day window.
-
Last 90 Days — rolling 90 days.
-
Custom — pick exact start and end dates.
Pick the range that matches your question:
-
"How was today?" — Today.
-
"What changed this week?" — This Week or Last 7 Days.
-
"Are we trending in the right direction?" — Last 30 or 90 Days.
-
"Compare this quarter to last quarter" — Custom range.
What charts are shown
The exact charts depend on what's tracked, but typical ones include:
-
Behavior frequency by category — bar chart, x-axis is category, y-axis is count.
-
Behavior over time — bar chart, x-axis is date, y-axis is count, one bar per day.
-
Sleep duration over time — line chart, hours per day.
-
Weight over time — line chart.
-
Blood pressure over time — line chart with two lines (systolic, diastolic).
-
Health Challenges (seizures) frequency — bar or line chart.
-
Intervention frequency — bar chart by category.
-
Environment factor frequency — bar chart.
Trend indicators
Many summary cards show a trend arrow — ↑ ↓ →:
-
↑ — more than the previous equivalent period.
-
↓ — less than the previous period.
-
→ — about the same.
The "previous period" matches the current one in length. If you're looking at Last 30 Days, the comparison is the 30 days before that.
Filtering charts
You can scope charts by:
-
Category — show only Behavior, only Health, etc. Click checkboxes or pills.
-
Sub-category — within Behavior, show only "Challenging" or "Desirable".
-
Profile — show one or several profiles (Manager-only).
-
Group — limit to a Group's profiles (Manager-only).
After filtering, the underlying data and the trend indicator both update.
Reading the charts well
-
Scale matters. A bar chart that goes from 0 to 5 looks different from one going to 50. Note the y-axis numbers.
-
Outliers tell stories. A single spike usually has a specific cause — find that day's notes for context.
-
Trends matter more than individual days. One bad day isn't a trend. Three weeks of bad days is.
-
Correlate categories. Did sleep drop in the same week behavior spiked? Switch categories to compare.
-
Use the audit log to dig in. Click into a date with unusual data to see the entries themselves.
Time zones in charts
All chart dates are in the profile's timezone (or, in manager-wide views, each profile's own timezone). A "day" is the calendar day in that timezone.
This means:
-
A behavior at 11pm Sydney time is on that Sydney day, not the UTC date.
-
Cross-timezone aggregations (multi-profile manager view) handle each profile's data in its own timezone.
Refreshing data
Charts refresh on:
-
Date range change.
-
Filter change.
-
Page refresh.
-
Some change to the underlying data (a new entry being logged).
If you're expecting recently logged data and don't see it, refresh the page.
Common questions
-
The chart shows zero on a day I know we logged stuff. — Check the date range and the category filters. Also confirm you're on the right profile.
-
Two charts show different numbers for the same metric. — Make sure they're using the same date range and filters. They may be showing different categories or sub-categories.
-
Can I save a chart configuration? — Not currently. Each session, you set the filters fresh.
-
Can I add my own chart? — Not currently. The chart set is defined by BEHCA.
